sp. n.
(
Figs 32–35
)
Female macroptera
. Body, legs and antennal segments I–III yellow, IV–VI faintly shaded at apex, VII–IX palest brown; fore wings pale; tergite IX major setae pale. Head wider than long, with closely spaced sculpture lines behind eyes (
Fig. 32
); eyes with 6 pigmented facets; ocellar setae III outside ocellar triangle. Antennae 9-segmented; III–IV with sensorium forked, II without microtrichia; VI not pedicellate, suture between VI–VII oblique (
Fig. 35
). Pronotum almost without sculpture, or with faint well-spaced, transverse lines; discal setae small. Metascutal sculpture irregularly reticulate with some elongate reticles; median setae fine and well back from anterior margin; MCS absent. Fore wing first vein with about 9 setae basally, 2 setae medially and 2 setae near apex; second vein with 9–11 setae; clavus with 5 veinal setae plus one seta at base. Abdominal tergites II–VII with no sculpture medially, lateral to setae S2 with about 7 lines bearing short microtrichia (
